The sheer weight of the sunken cost fallacy is absolutely crippling to people. They don’t want to give up the narrative on which they were raised, because the idea that *their entire life was a complete lie and everything they ever did was directly in contradiction to their own health and spiritual well-being* is often too much to accept. They’ll just reject what you say off-hand for no reason other than that. They don’t want to admit to themselves that their lives, their parents’ lives, and their grandparents’ sacrifices in war… was for absolutely nothing.
